Artist statement
Liam Jolly graduated from the University of Hertfordshire with a First Class BA (Hons) degree in Fine Art in 2001. Based in Cornwall he is currently studying an MA in Fine Art Contemporary Practice at University College Falmouth.
Rooted in the language of abstract painting his concept driven multi disciplinary works question notions of reality and identity through experimentation in process and aim to exist within the conceptual divide between before and after, actual fact and performance.
Alongside his art practice a fortuitous and extremely involved role within the world of music over the past 10 years as both performer and musical curator has seen his work become further influenced by ideas of performance as metaphor, the material of music and the deconstructed spirit of Rock & Roll.
He is also the director of TARDIS Projects, an artist run scheme that will officially launch in summer 2011 with a series of one day exhibitions that will run in conjunction with UCF and Truro Cathedral.
